So, How Effective Is CBD?

According to a study from Brightfield Group and HelloMD, covering 2,400 members, it is very effective. The study, referenced in this article by Forbes, was the largest survey on CBD to date.

According to the study:

“The most common reasons people used CBD were to treat insomnia, depression, anxiety and joint pain, according to Dr. Perry Solomon, the Chief Medical Officer of HelloMD. Forty-two percent of the CBD users said they had stopped using traditional medications like Tylenol pain relievers or prescription drugs like Vicodin and had switched to using cannabis instead. Eighty percent said that they found the products to be “very or extremely effective.” Only 3% or less found the product to be either ineffectual or only slightly effective.”

The article noted that there are over 850 brands of marijuana-derived CBD products and 150 hemp-derived products. Surprisingly, nearly 200 of consumers surveyed didn’t know which type of product they consumed. Additionally, it was shown that women use CBD more than men, contrary to the expected outcome. Only 45% of users were men.

Hemp-derived CBD is available in every state and even online. Of those surveyed, they said they normally spend between $20-$80/month on CBD products. Dr. Solomon said, “This landmark survey, in terms of its size and depth, shows the tremendous value that these products have for patients, Hopefully, access for products such as these will help patients all across the country who cannot obtain medication that contains THC.”

This study shows how effective CBD is for most people. With at least 97% of people at least somewhat effective, and nearly 50% stopping traditional medications, it shows why more and more people are turning to CBD for their health needs.
